In Kaine's defense, I was glad Hillary picked him because had Hillary got elected, it would've gave progressives a chance to deny the VP a nomination coronation in 2024. I couldn't imagine the same thing happening with Booker or Castro. And Kaine, as an older face of the party's old guard, offends me way less than the fresh faces of the old guard.

Of course, that all doesn't matter anymore. I doubt Kaine's still next in line now that Hillary blew it.

Someone asked about the problems with Al Franken and I'll say that the first thing that to mind is his positions on Telecom and net neutrality. It's not the only thing, but it's the first thing.

It's about as bad as you'd expect from someone who's worked in television for years.

Also like Michael Moore, he's kind of a polarizing "culture war" figure of the 2004 era despite his Midwestern roots.

A year ago I dismissed the idea of a Bernie 2020 campaign if he loses in 2016 because of Sanders' age. But now the Democrats nominating a old-as-gently caress socialist seems like the least terrible idea for 2020. But in every scenario I see, it seems like Trump has the best hand for reelection.

pretty sure al franken is a huge net neutrality advocate? am i missing something?
I was confusing his position on Net Neutrality with SOPA and PIPA. Whoops.

Support and opposition to SOPA/PIPA did not break down on traditional party lines if you look at the list.

I say this as someone who supported Bernie: it's okay to hate Tulsi.
